THE 

CAUSES, TREATMENT, AND CURE 



OF 

FEVER AND AGUE 



AND OTHER 

DISEASES OF BILIOUS CLIMATES.

TO THE READER. 



Please bear in mind the remedy herein referred to is not put forth 
as a panacea, to restore every organ, and cure every ailment : it is 
designed, mainly, to act npon that important sentry of the blood, the 
Liver, and to cure the diseases caused by its derangement. To illus- 
trate more fully its medicinal properties and purposes, we will take 
Jaundice as a type of liver disorders, not only a frequent disease, but 
one of unusual obstinacy under ordinary treatment, often tending to 
great depression of spirits, enlargement of the liver, and organic 
troubles of a serious character. If such is your case, you will, after 
two or three days' use, begin to experience relief : drowsiness, and the 
usual sense of oppression about the head, will dimmish, the spirits 
improve, appetite and strength increase, and, before the contents of 
the bottle are exhausted, the eye will begin to clear, and the skin to 
assume its natural complexion. If the case is one of long standing, 
a second and sometimes third bottle should be used. In the process 
of recovery there will be positive sensible evidence of the effects of 
the medicine, which cannot be mistaken : to wit, the change 'that 
occurs in the secretion of the liver, as indicated by discharges from 
the bowels, which, having been dark or clay-colored, will begin to 
assume a natural appearance : constipation will be relieved by a sup- 
ply of Xature's Cathartic, healthy bile, which the liver now provides ; 
and the kidneys, in natural sympathy with the liver, will no longer 
be the sources of scanty and high-colored urine. In the process of 
restoring the system to health, such are some of its prominent opera- 
tive effects, more fully set forth in the pamphlet herewith. It is 
entirely a vegetable preparation, and perfectly harmless to the most 
delicate constitution. 



Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1S74, by Chables Osgood, in the Office of the 
Librarian of Congress, Washington. 



CAUSES, TKEATMENT, CURE, ETC. 



In presenting the public with a remedy for the treat- 
ment and cure of Fever and Ague and other bilious dis- 
eases, no apology is needed. Vast numbers in the United 
States, who suffer from these affections in their varied 
forms, are compelled to seek relief from other sources than 
the immediate prescriptions of the regular physician. It 
becomes, therefore, an object of humanity, as well as of 
public interest, to bring before them a remedy prepared 
from much experience, and which may always be relied 
upon as safe, effectual, and harmless to the constitution. 
That such is the true character of the INDIA CHOL- 
AGOGUE,* is amply attested by the universal success 
with which it has been employed. 

For a full explanation of the causes of bilious diseases, 
the cases to which the above remedy is best adapted, and 
the mode in which it should be administered, reference 
may be had to the directions and particulars herein 
contained. 

It is matter of common notoriety that many localities 
of the United States, especially the new states of the 
west, are subject to a class of bilious diseases, known as 
Intermittent and Remittent Fevers — Fever and Ague 
— Bilious Fevers — Chill Fever — Dumb Ague — Pe- 
riodical Headache — with other affections of a like 
character. Wherever these diseases prevail, — whether 
at the north, south, east, or west, — they have a com- 
mon origin, known as malaria, or miasma. 



* From x°M, bile ; and ayu, to discharge — a purger of bile.

CAUSES, TREATMENT, AND CURE 



Whatever may be the difference of opinion in relation 
to its precise nature, it is admitted to be the same in 
character wherever it exists, whether evaporated from 
marshes, from stagnant water, or uncleared lands* 

The symptoms which characterize its effects upon the 
human system vary with the -age, constitution, and habits 
of the sufferer ; but the effect upon important organs of 
the body — the liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys — is es- 
sentially the same. 

The Liver, instead of performing the office assigned it 
by nature, becomes obstructed and inactive ; the bile it 
should separate from the blood, and throw off from the 
system by the bowels, is carried by the circulation to 
every part of the body. The consequence is a sallow 
complexion and jaundiced eye. The skin and other ex- 
creting organs are taxed with the functions which the 
liver fails to perform. In many instances, the linen of 
the patient becomes stained with bile, thus diverted from 
its natural excretory, the liver. Another consequence of 
this condition of the liver is derangement of the bowels. 
It is well known that bile is the cathartic of nature, and 
when the liver fails to supply it in sufficient quantity, the 
bowels become confined and torpid. In some instances, 
instead of a deficiency in quantity, it is so vitiated in 
quality as to produce the other extreme, diarrhoea. In 
either case, the discharges from the bowels lose their 
healthy appearance, becoming sometimes nearly colorless, 
at others of a dark green, or nearly black. When such 
has been the condition of the liver for a length of time, it 
not unusually becomes so much enlarged as to be distinct- 
ly felt projecting below the lower ribs, with occasional 
pain and soreness upon pressure. 

* Interrnittents prevail extensively in many settled districts where 
there are no marshes, and no apparent stagnant water. Bat it will 
be found that such districts are too level for water to flow readily 
from the surface, with a subsoil of clay preventing the passage of 
water through it, constituting what is equivalent to a marsh in the 
proiuction of miasma.

The Spleen also loses its healthy tone, becoming in- 
durated and enlarged. The functions in the animal econ- 
omy which the spleen is designed to perform, are involved 
in much obscurity ; but that it has an important influence 
upon the whole system, there is not a particle of doubt 
When enlarged, forming what is called Ague Cake, the 
tumor can usually be felt a little at the left of the stom- 
ach, and just beneath the lower ribs, by making slight 
pressure upon this part of the abdomen when the patient 
is lying upon his back. When such is the condition of 
the spleen, there is usually an uneasy sensation, and occa- 
sionally slight pain and soreness, inability to sleep on the 
affected side, and various dyspeptic symptoms. The pa= 
tient loses flesh, the countenance has a sickly expression, 
the mind becomes variable, often gloomy and despond- 
ing, with an indisposition to exercise of any kind, mental 
or bodily. 

The Stomach, on the healthy condition of which the 
welfare of the whole system depends, is among the most 
susceptible of the vital organs to the influence of the 
causes of disease, whether such causes act primarily upon 
it, or indirectly through its sympathy with other organs. 
When the system has for a time been subjected to the 
causes of bilious disease, the stomach becomes irritable ; 
the appetite is capricious, sometimes exceeding the de- 
mands of nature, at others entirely wanting. After eat- 
ing, the patient is often annoyed with heartburn, and a 
sense of heaviness and oppression. When the stomach is 
empty, he is languid and dissatisfied c The tongue is 
slightly furred, especially in the morning ; and not un- 
frequently a dense, heavy coat may be seen at its roots. 

The Kidneys fail of secreting the usual quantity of 
urine ; and that discharged is of a high color, often de- 
positing a sediment on standing. Occasionally there is^ 
pain and soreness in the small of the back. As it is the- 
province of the kidneys to assist in purifying the blood,, 
by separating from it offending matter, it is not surprising 
that disease and inactivity of these organs should pro- 
duce derangement of the whole system.

CAUSES, TREATMENT, AND CURE 



It is a common remark that bilious climates are favora 
ble for the lungs, when inclined to disease. This, how- 
ever, is only true to a certain extent. Though there may 
be temporary benefit, it is only at the expense of the 
future, if followed by intermittent or remittent fevers. 
If the causes of these fevers are salutary, not so with the 
fevers themselves. 

The object of the preceding remarks is for the better 
information of all concerned on the subject of the pre- 
vailing affections of bilious climates — a subject in which 
every resident is deeply interested. The mass of com- 
munity have but limited means of acquiring correct prac- 
tical information in reference to it, excepting such as cas- 
ually falls within the range of their own observation. 

It is not to be expected that a brief sketch like the 
present will embrace any thing more than outlines, — de- 
tails would require a volume. But, to the individual who 
finds himself constitutionally predisposed to the affections 
before enumerated, it is hoped that even the few general 
explanations herein contained will present such early 
knowledge of his condition as to impress upon his mind 
the importance of doing something promptly, — either of 
leaving the climate or locality thus producing disease of 
his system, or of resorting to remedies which will thor- 
oughly and effectually remove it. 

Having for several years been engaged in the practice 
of medicine in such a section of country, the true charac- 
ter of its diseases, and the treatment best adapted to 
their permanent cure, have been objects of constant and 
careful investigation. The result has been the prepara- 
tion of the India Cholagogue. which will be found to 
have the most salutary influence in thoroughly eradicat- 
ing from the system the class of diseases for which it is 
designed. The increasing demand for this remedy, its 
unparalleled success, and the solicitation of friends who 
have been restored to health by its use, have induced the 
proprietor to present it to the publico It is not pretend- 
ed that it will cure all " the ills which flesh is heir to," 



OF BILIOUS DISEASES. 



T 



Its object is to counteract the influence and remove the 
effects of a single but fruitful source of disease — miasma. 
Its operation upon the system is deobstruent — purifying 
the blood, removing obstructions from the liver ? and pro- 
moting the discharge of bile. 

Intermittent Fever, commonly called Ague and Fever, 
being the most prevalent form of bilious disease, demands 
our special notice. The common mode of treating it in 
almost every section of the country has been with tonics. 
These are administered freely, with the view of breaking' 
the chilly but nothing is done to remove the disease of 
the liver and other organs on which the chill and fever 
depend. Relapses without number are the consequence. 
The patient is only cured for a time ; he is relieved of a 
symptom of disease, not of the disease itself. The liver 
and other organs affected remain in the same state of 
derangement, and the slightest exposure brings on an- 
other attack. Such being the case, and such the conse- 
quences, it becomes a question of deep interest both to 
the physician and the community, What can be done to cure 
the disease thoroughly and effectually ? — not simply to 
u break the chill," but to remove the cause on which it de- 
pends. This is the object of the India Cholagogue ; 
and those who avail themselves of it, under the directions 
herein contained, will not fail of a permanent cure. In 
the numerous cases in which it has been employed, not 
one has been found to resist its sanative powers. 

Testimonials of the highest respectability might be 
presented to substantiate all that is claimed in its behalf. 
But it will be left to introduce itself ; to stand or fall 
upon its own merits. Certificates and credentials may 
always be obtained, without merit as well as with it 
Relying, therefore, upon its intrinsic worth, every sufferer 
will be left to appreciate for himself the relief it affords. 
If this is not obtained, thousands of certificates would do 
but little in gaining his confidence. 

In the treatment of the various bilious affections, the 
following 'principles should be observed : — 



8 



CAUSES, TREATMENT, AND CURE 



It is a general law of disease that those affections 
which creep upon the system slowly, require the longest 
time for thorough and effectual cures ; those which are 
speedily produced, have a correspondent termination, — a 
fact which should be borne in mind in the treatment, and 
the remedy administered accordingly. 

In the periodical affections of bilious climates, an inter- 
ruption of the periodical return of the disease is but the 
abatement of a symptom, not a cure of the disease. The 
cause is suspended — ■ not removed. 

In all bilious affections the diet should be simple and 
plain — restricted in quantity as well as quality. The 
bowels, if confined, should be kept open by some mild 
cathartic. 

It has been observed that miasma is the cause of all 
the varieties of bilious disease It should be borne in 
mind that July, August, September, and October are the 
months in which it is most abundant ; that it acts most 
readily upon the system when debilitated or deranged. 
Exposure to damp, chilling winds, over exertion, irregu- 
lar habits, improper diet, anxiety of mind, and other like 
causes, favor its effect 

Morning and evening air should be avoided. The 
miasma of infected districts rises and falls with the 
vapor, to which it unites ; and this is most abundant just 
after sunset and just before sunrise. Its density is great- 
est near the surface, and diminishes inversely with the 
distance upward. High grounds should therefore be se- 
lected for residences, and chambers for lodging rooms.* 

* As correct practical information is the design of this pamphlet, 
it should be remarked that the opinion expressed above, in reference 
to the more salubrious atmosphere of elevated grounds, is supposed 
by some to be fallacious. The Hon. William Woodbridge, Governor 
of Michigan, whose life has been mainly spent in the new States of 
the West, and whose discriminating mind and acuteness of observa- 
tion are such as to clothe his opinions with more than ordinary weight, 
thus remarks in reference to this subject, in a communication to the 
author, dated Detroit, October 21st, 1840 : " One proposition seems 
advanced by you, however, of the correctness of which, with all def-

Both intermittents and remittents are the products of 
the same miasmal cause, and yield to the same treatment, 
though the latter are more protracted, and require the use 
of remedies for a longer period. 

Intermittent Fever is characterized by an entire suspen- 
sion or intermission of the fever in about eight hours from 
the attack, the patient continuing free from it till the 
time of its periodical return. 

Eemittent Fever commences much like an intermittent, 
but, in about the same time from the attack, only abates 
in . its violence — there is a remission, but not an entire 
suspension. It is a more malignant type of fever than 
the former, affecting the internal organs more powerfully, 
and requiring longer time to restore them to their healthy 
condition. 

No class of diseases are more easily controlled by ap- 

erence, I must venture to express a doubt. It is one in no wise af- 
fecting the general correctness of your . theory, nor the soundness of 
your reasoning as to the main scope of your views. I have had fre- 
quent occasion, I think, to observe in the western country — particu- 
larly near the Ohio — that families living in dwelling houses border- 
ing upon marshy grounds, more or less extensive, — the exhalations 
from which almost invariably produce the diseases of which you treat? 
— far more commonly escaped the evil consequences occasioned by 
the poisonous effluvia from such marshes, even though almost upon 
the same level with them, than those who had chosen for their places 
of residence the high grounds immediately bordering those recepta- 
cles of decayed vegetation and putrescent water. Without the ca- 
pacity or the disposition to form speculative opinions for myself on 
such subjects — supposing the fact to exist -—I have imagined that 
the cause of such apparent anomaly might be, that the most noxious 
portion of the exhalation was specifically lighter than the more dense 
part of the vapor, and that this virus, escaping from the rest, sought 
its equilibrium on the height of the acclivity." 

In the same communication, after describing the intermittent and 
remittent fevers, as continuing upon him, "in spite of quinine and 
other popular remedies," until the India Cholagogue was obtained, 
and relief thus afforded, the Governor continues, — 

" As A SAFE, CONVENIENT, AND POPULAR REMEDY, MY OWN EXPE- 
RIENCE, SO FAR, INDUCES ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT WILL PROVE A 
6REAT PUBLIC BENEFIT."

CAUSES, TREATMENT, AND CURE 



propriate remedies than those of bilious climates, and 
none so easily prevented. Next to the curing of disease 
already formed, what can be of more consequence than 
its successful prevention? *In no respect, perhaps, does 
the Cholagogue promise greater benefits than as a pre- 
ventive. All know the lurking nature of the diseases 
for which it is designed. The poison which produces 
them often lies concealed in the system, undermining the 
secret springs of life, and going on with its work of 
destruction for months, and not unfrequently for years, be- 
fore it breaks out in open disease. During this period, a 
sallow complexion, high-colored urine, and occasional 
pain in the side, are perhaps the only symptoms to warn 
of impending danger. At this time, the persevering use 
of the above remedy will thoroughly neutralize the mias- 
mal poison, and cleanse from the system every taint of 
bilious matter c But a few days elapse before the com- 
plexion* begins to improve, with other changes, denoting 
a general amendment. From its counteracting influence, 
the dangers of acclimation are greatly diminished. Per- 
sons emigrating to the south and west, who have used it 
during the sickly season, have almost invariably escaped. 
The preventive powers of the Cholagogue are such as to 
warrant the belief that, of the thousands in the United 
States who annually fall a sacrifice to bilious diseases, 
there are few, very few, but would entirely escape, through 
its timely and efficient aid. Travellers in the new states, 
whose apprehensions have induced them to apply for this 
remedy, will bear ample testimony of its preventive as 
well as curative powers. 

# It is a well-known fact, that even slight derangement of the liv 
is often manifested upon the complexion, giving it a dark and some- 
times an eruptive appearance. By restoring this organ to its healthy 
condition, the skin again assumes its wonted freshnessc

DIRECTIONS. 



THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY OB- 
SERVED : — If the patient is suffering from Fever and 
Ague, Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, or any form of Inter- 
mittent Fever, at the time of commencing the remedy, it 
should be taken four times in twenty-four hours — half an 
hour before the ordinary time of meals, and at bedtime, 
and thus continued till the periodical return of the disease is 
broken up, which will not exceed two or three days. It 
should then be continued three times a day, — morning, 
noon, and evening, — until it effects a permanent and rad- 
ical cure. As before observed, breaking the chill is not 
curing the disease. The cure is but just commenced. If 
the patient has had the disease for a long time, or been a 
long time exposed to its causes, the greater the period re- 
quired for its effectual cure. Such persons should take 
at least three bottles of the Cholagogue. If at a season 
of the year when the causes are operating upon the sys- 
tem, it would be advisable to continue it at least morning 
and night, till this season is over ; if any enlargement or 
tenderness of the liver, until it is removed. Two bottles 
are sufficient for ordinary cases ; one will occasionally 
suffice, but cannot be relied upon for a permanent cure.* 

No previous preparation of the system is needed, unless 
the bowels should be confined. In this case, eight or ten 
grains of blue pill, to move them gently, will be of service. 

* To insure its best effects, the medicine should be taken without 
interruption. When used irregularly, it has less influence upon the 
system, and requires a longer time to eradicate the disease. 



L2 



CAUSES, TREATMENT, AXD CURE 



This may be repeated once or twice a week, at bedtime, 
as the bowels require.* 

As before remarked, the operative effects of the Ixdia 
Cholagogue are deobstruent — removing obstructions. In 
its administration, no difference should be made on ac- 
count of the chill or fever which may prevail at the time. 
The periods for taking the medicine should be regularly 
observed, without any regard to either. Its operation is 
such as to affect the system favorably under all the vari- 
eties of the disease. 

In most instances there are several days' warning be- 
fore the disease makes its attack. By resorting in time 
to this remedy, it will be entirely prevented. It cannot 
be too strongly urged upon those who have never had 
the Ague, thus to intercept its first approach ; for one at- 
tack predisposes the system to another. 

Intermittents often assume a disguised character, ap- 
pearing in the form of periodical headache, neuralgia, 
(tic douloureux.) &c which take the place of the chill and 
fever in their regular return. They are often coniplica- 
ted with diarrhea, dysentery, deopsy, epilepsy, and 
many other diseases. These forms of Ague, complicated 
and disguised from peculiarities of constitution and other 
influences affecting the individual, are only modifications 
of the same disease, and equally within the control of the 
same remedy. 

The variety in the forms of disease, produced by the 
miasmal cause, i3 not inconsistent with the general law, 
that same causes produce the same effects. Difference in 
constitution^ habits, temperament, and different degrees 
of atmospheric contamination, account for the variety. 
Even in the same neighborhood, miasma often differs ma- 
terially in its density, with a corresponding difference in 
the violence of its effects. 



* In many instances, the Cholagocrue of itself has sufficient effect 
upon the bowels, from the flow of bile caused by its use. "When its 
laxative influence is too great, it should be taken in smaller doses 
until it has the desired effect. 



OF BILIOUS DISEASES. 



13 



To Remittent or Bilious Fever* it is equally adapted, 
and should be administered in accordance with directions 
already given. 

It should be distinctly understood, that the India Chol- 
agogue is prepared expressly to counteract the effects of 
the miasmal influence upon the human system. It is equally 
effectual for the cure of Bilious Diseases of all kinds. 
Liver Complaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, the various forms 
of Indigestion, and such other affections as arise from 
this morbid influence, as for the fevers before enumerated. 
By bearing in mind the object of the remedy, none can 
mistake its application. 

For Ague Cake, or enlargement of the Spleen, it will 
be found an invaluable remedy. In cases of long stand- 
ing, it should be continued several months. By persever- 
ance, it rarely fails of reducing the organ to its natural 
and healthy size. 

HIT 3 Individuals traveling, in miasmal districts of 
country will find this remedy, taken in the usual doses, 
three times a day, to afford perfect protection against 
the Ague, and other diseases of the climate. 

The dose for a grown person is a teaspoonful, 
taken in half a wine-glass of water, or an equal quantity 
of milk, at the option of the patient. 

Children from six to twelve years may take half the 
above quantity, or thirty drops; from three to six, a third, 
or twenty drops; from one to three, a quarter, or fifteen 
drops; under a year, an eighth, or eight drops. 

A convenient mode of dividing the doses for children 
is by diluting a part of the preparation with water, so 
that a teaspoonful, as reduced, may correspond with the 
quantity required by the age. 

Ji^" Before each dose, the bottle should be thor- 
oughly SHAKEN, UNTIL ALL SEDIMENT IS REMOVED. 

* Bilious Fevers, as they are termed, are only varieties of Re- 
mittents — not peculiar and distinct diseases. They are produced by 
the same causes, and characterized by the same symptoms. In their 
progress they are alike periodical, subject to the same remissions, and 
yield to the same remedies.

After using the medicine, the cork should be replaced. By 
observing this precaution, it retains its virtues unimpaired 
at all seasons and in every climate. 

The bottles in which it is contained have the words 
"Osgood's India Cholagogue, New- York," blown in the 
glass, with a few general directions attached, containing 
the written signature of the proprietor. 

I®"* With each bottle, and under the same envelope, 
will be found a copy of this pamphlet, the copy-right of 
which is secured according to law. It is entirely of a 
practical nature, to answer its design of practical utility. 
The observations and remarks it contains are not the 
result of theory, but of careful investigation at the bed- 
side, during a practice of several years in a bilious climate. 
No propositions are advanced in reference to those dis- 
eases, or the remedy recommended for their prevention 
and cure, but such as have become matters of professional 
experience. 



The following is a translation of the directions attached to 
each bottle, in French, Spanish, and German.

It has been truly said that counterfeiters and imitators 
of a valuable medicine are more dangerous to society than 
dealers in spurious coin. The latter only rob you of your 
property, while the former endanger your life. 

The high reputation gained by Dr. Osgood's India Chol- 
agogue has given rise to a large number of spurious com- 
pounds, which are now before the public, christened with 
the name of Cholagogue. One man bottles up a mixture 
which he calls hidian Cholagogue — another, American 
Cholagogue — another, German C/wlagogue — another, Bo- 
tanic Cholagogue — another makes Cholagogue Pills, and so 
on. These imitations are but imitations in name, to steal 
a character for the spurious which belongs only to the 
genuine e You may as well look to the Caesars and Catos 
of the present day for the virtues of their illustrious pro- 
totypes, as expect to find in such miserable compounds the 
valuable properties of the original Cholagogue,
